This program offers a sequence of foundational and specialized courses designed to equip you for professional roles involving children, parents, and families across diverse environments. The curriculum includes studies in children's literature and family dynamics, along with coursework fulfilling the prerequisites for child life specialist certification. These professionals primarily operate in healthcare facilities, assisting young patients and their families in managing the emotional challenges associated with medical treatment and hospital stays. Important to note: program completion alone doesn't confer certification, as graduates must fulfill further post-degree qualifications. The academic journey concludes with an intensive semester-long practicum experience.
